  • "Lovely little cottage in picturesque Grassington."

    The cottage was well maintained, clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed for our stay.

  • "My wife and i really enjoyed our stay in your lovely cottage ."

    It was a great base to explore the surrounding area. We also enjoyed the peace and quiet of the cottage as we have very noisy neighbours where we live . The owners have done a great job on the cottage so take a bow. Only problem we had was the back door lock i think it needs some attention .Hopefully we will return in the future as there is so much to see in this part of Yorkshire . Thank you once again Patrick and Bev Doyle

  • "A very cosy cottage decorated to high standards, very well equipped and spotlessly clean."

    Located just off the main street in the beautiful Dales village of Grassington, it is an ideal place for exploring wonderful Wharfedale and beyond. Plenty of walks directly from the door as well as local pubs, cafes and shops. The welcome bottle of wine, chocolates, milk and biscuits were a lovely touch too. There is a small parking space for one car outside the back door, but there are some free spaces in the village, a small carpark a little way up the hill and the National Park carpark is another option if friends are meeting up with you. We would highly recommend Manna Cottage for a Yorkshire Dales holiday base.

  • "The cottage was well equipped with everything you could need, it was all of a high quality too."

    The only down side for us was the firmness of the double mattress,which was like lying on a board, however we appreciate not everyone likes a softer matrass, this did impact our stay, as after a walking day we didn't get a good sleep. The situation of the cottage was perfect and Grassinton and surrounding areas are beautiful. Everyone was so friendly. We ate mainly in the Forresters Arms which appears shabby but the food was beautifully, plentiful, freshly made and reasonably priced. The staff were very accommodating and friendly. Apart from the bed a very nice stay.

    The cottage was brilliantly equipped with everything that you would need - in the little things like tea bags, coffee, hot chocolate (which was lovely) - loved the little touches like a packet of chocolates and a pint of milk left for us. It was our first short break in a long time because of illness and it lived up to every expectation. Thank you for this.

  • "Manna cottage is a lovely cottage ."

    However the locks on the back door and the out house are difficult to undo . Maybe people should be made aware of the town hall clock striking every hour especially through the night. The bed was hard and not very comfy to sleep on . It is in a good position in the village. A little more comfort would have been nice.

    I am sorry that your stay at Manna Cottage was not perfect. Unfortunately the wet weather has swollen the doors thus the locks are a bit stiff but this has been looked at by a joiner. The locals never notice the clock striking the hour but will ensure that a note is put in the visitor information book. The bed - this is a matter of personal preference. Property Owner

  • "The kitchen was rather compacted, only about 10 inches of work surface."

    Living room, bedroom and bathroom were a good size. Shower was good. The garden belongs to the next door house, so can't be used. It was bit uncomfortable to have people walking by in the garden. The picture on Sykes is the front of the house from the garden not the entrance you use. Parking was a bit difficult. There is no allocated space.

    Sorry that your stay at Manna Cottage was good as you had hoped. I did explain to you when you rang, regarding the parking, there is an allocated parking space directly outside the cottage. We are very lucky to have this space as all the other cottages down the street have to park in the public car parks. Property Owner

    There are some negative points. The kitchen is tiny with limited work space, the settee in the living room is small and very soft you can't sit on it for long, there are alternative chairs provided. There isn't any outside space. This is clear in the description but what isn't clear is the garden in front of the cottage belongs to the next door neighbour, who hangs her washing over the railings in front of the living room window. There is parking for one car but access is tight and you have to reverse out on to the road, this can prove tricky with on coming cars and pedestrians, there is alternative parking in the village. This cottage is a good base for exploring the Dales both by car and on foot.

The property

A delightful stone-built terraced cottage in the heart of Grassington, one of the most popular villages in the Yorkshire Dales.

An 18th century former lead miner's cottage, it provides an ideal base for a small family or couple wishing to get away from it all and enjoy a wonderful break in this ever-popular area.

In a quiet corner of the village yet only a stone’s throw from the vibrant centre of the village, the cottage is packed with character and charm; guests will be delighted by a warm and cosy sitting room with a gas-fired stove set in a beautiful stone surround, as well as a lovely window seat, exposed stone walls and original ceiling beams; an ideal room in which to relax and unwind.

The small kitchen adjoins the sitting room and leads out to a quiet lane.

Upstairs, the charming king-size double bedroom boasts pretty views over the adjoining gardens and across the village.

There's also a separate shower room available.

This cosy and romantic cottage is just a one minute walk from the famous village centre, with its old curiosity shops, excellent local pubs, good eating establishments and, of course, the old cobbled square where the annual Dickensian weekends are a real show-stopper.

Add to this the annual Grassington Festival and the close proximity of many of the Dales' famous tourist locations and you've a holiday cottage not to be missed.

A cottage and village full of character and charm, certainly a great combination and one not to be missed!

About the location

GRASSINGTON

Skipton 9 miles; Ilkley 12 miles.

Grassington is one of the most charming villages in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Traditional stone cottages and shops are clustered around the cobbled market place, offering exceptional shopping facilities for a village of this size, with a monthly farmer’s market offering a mouthwatering range of organic and homemade local produce. Situated on the River Wharfe, with the extensive Grass Woods to the north of the village, this is a superb walking area. Down dale is Bolton Abbey with the Abbey ruins, the Priory and the famous “Strid Walk”. A little further is the elegant town of Ilkley, overlooked by the famous Ilkley Moor. Up dale are Kettlewell and Buckden boasting spectacularly beautiful limestone scenery. With many other beauty spots scattered throughout Wharfedale, Grassington provides a great base for exploring the local area and all that the Dales have to offer, with Brontë Country and York also being within easy motoring distance.
